"Babies! Get dressed quickly!" Wang Wenzhou was immediately sweating profusely.
Wang Wenzhou's babies hurriedly helped him get dressed.
Wang Wenzhou lifted the sedan curtain and looked out. He was almost scared to death. There were shouts of battle everywhere, and bandits everywhere. His troops' formation was disrupted, and they were fighting the bandits in a chaotic battle.
"Xiaoqiang! Quick, lead the men and fight our way out!" Wang Wenzhou shouted urgently.
Wang Qiang nodded and roared, "Brothers, charge with me!"
Wang Qiang spurred his horse and led his men to charge forward.
"Bang! Bang!" Wang Wenzhou patted the sedan chair and shouted, "Zhu Yi, quickly take the brothers and retreat!"
"Yes!" Zhu Yi quickly called to the sedan chair carriers and followed closely behind Wang Qiang.
Zhang Rong remained calm. While helping Wang Wenzhou straighten his clothes, she said softly, "Husband, please don't panic. We can't retreat now! We should regroup our troops, resist step by step, and retreat while fighting."
Wang Wenzhou gently patted Zhang Rong's head and said in a panic, "Baby, escaping is the most important thing now. There are so many enemies, we can't fight them all. As long as we run fast, those who run slowly behind us will take the hits for us."
"Sigh..." Zhang Rong sighed softly. "Husband, where do you look like a nobleman's son? In our noble families, even the lazy bums have some martial prowess. In a great battle, if the commander flees first, even the most elite troops cannot win."
"Husband! You mustn't!" Zhang Rong continued to plead.
Wang Wenzhou stuck his head out of the sedan chair and glanced back. The bandit army was about to catch up. If he didn't run now, he would be doomed.
“Baby, be good! Stop fooling around! It’s better to live a miserable life than to die! The child in your belly can’t be without its own father!” Wang Wenzhou said seriously.
"Sigh..." Zhang Rong sighed softly. Her husband was truly hopeless. If she were here, with their current forces, although they might not be able to defeat the enemy, a safe retreat would not be difficult. It was a pity for the brothers who had followed her husband.
"Kill!" Lin Qing's broadsword flashed, and several labor camp soldiers beside him were instantly decapitated and killed.
Lin Qing glanced at Wang Wenzhou's sedan chair. "Wang the Fool, he has no other skills, but he's quite fast."
"Guards!" Lin Qing shouted, pointing at Wang Wenzhou's sedan chair, "Follow me! Don't let Wang Wenzhou escape! Whoever captures Wang Wenzhou alive will be rewarded with one thousand taels of silver!"
"Kill them!" Lin Qing's men chased after Wang Wenzhou's sedan chair.
Wang Wenzhou always valued his life. The special forces were already surrounding the sedan chair. After entering the encirclement, although the bandits tried their best to attack Wang Wenzhou's sedan chair, the bandits were unable to get close because the special forces were all heavily armored.
When Wang Wenzhou fled, the morale of his army collapsed, and within moments his troops were routed, turning into a mass exodus. The rebel army, of course, would not let such a good opportunity pass and pursued him relentlessly.
Nianxia arrived at high speed with more than a dozen policewomen. Nianxia said, "Sir, please mount your horse quickly!"
Wang Wenzhou laughed awkwardly. Damn it, I can't ride a horse! Besides, my three babies are still in the sedan chair. How could I bear to abandon them and run away? Even if I'm shameless, I won't be like Liu Bang and Liu Bei, those two shameless scoundrels!
"Why are there so few people?" Wang Wenzhou asked.
Nianxia's eyes were filled with tears. The other sisters were either dead or captured. She really regretted it! She should have trained harder back then.
"Alright, stop crying! You can ride fast on horseback, hurry to Hanshan to deliver a message and send someone to save our lives!" Wang Wenzhou instructed.
"Yes, sir!" Nianxia spurred her horse and galloped away with the policewoman.
Wang Wenzhou peeked out from the sedan chair and saw that there weren't many people left around him; there were probably only about 100 special forces soldiers and 100 sedan chair carriers.
The sedan chair carriers have been training well these days. They work in teams of eight, and when one team runs out of energy, another team immediately takes over. So when they run, they are no slower than the cavalry.
The special forces battalion, due to their heavy armor, gradually fell behind.
Wang Wenzhou beckoned to Wang Qiang, who leaned closer. Wang Wenzhou whispered, "Qiang, you lead the special forces to cover our retreat. Remember not to do anything foolish. If things go wrong, escape first. We're brothers who grew up together. I don't want to be burning paper money for you next year on this day."
Wang Qiang's eyes welled up with tears as he said, "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely come back to see you alive!"
Wang Qiang turned his horse around and shouted, "Brothers of the Special Forces Battalion, our mission today is to cover Lord Wang's safe retreat. I, Wang Qiang, will protect you at all costs. Brothers, are you willing to follow me and cover our retreat?"
Wang Qiang had been following Wang Wenzhou around, and he had learned some of the skills of deceiving people.
"Swish!" A soldier drew his broadsword, knelt on one knee, and shouted, "I am willing to follow Young Master Qiang to cover the rear!"
"We would rather die than fail to save Lord Wang!" The special forces soldiers knelt on one knee and shouted in unison.
"Alright!" Wang Qiang nodded and said solemnly, "If we brothers are fortunate enough to survive this time, I, Wang Qiang, will guarantee you all a lifetime of wealth and honor!"
"Young Master Xie Qiang!"
Wang Wenzhou glanced back and said softly, "Xiao Qiang has grown up! He's even learned to make empty promises."
"Sigh..." Zhang Rong sighed helplessly. Husband, you are just a coward who fears death! If Miss were here, with so many fearless brothers, how could she have been defeated so easily?
“Babies, don’t be afraid! We’ll be back in Hanshan soon!” Wang Wenzhou reassured the babies, afraid they would be scared. “Once we get to Hanshan, be good, pack your things right away, and our whole family will go to Nanjing.”
“My lord, you are the prefect of Hanshan, and it is your duty to protect this land!” Sheng Lan said softly.
"Lazy Blue, guard your mother's land? Whose country is the Ming Dynasty? It's the country of the Zhu family! I'm not even a Zhu, so why should I guard the land for the Zhu family?" Wang Wenzhou was in a bad mood and cursed.
“Wang Wenzhou! These are treasonous words! How could you say such a thing?” Sheng Lan said angrily.
Wang Wenzhou pulled Sheng Lan into his arms, his large hand reaching inside her as he touched her, saying, "Lazy Lan, Lazy Lan, don't be angry, listen to me first. Family, country, and the world! Only with a family can there be a country, and only with a country can there be the world. If I die, my family will be gone! If my family is gone, what use is my country?"
"Sigh..." Sheng Lan sighed and looked helplessly at Zhang Rong.
Zhang Rong was also helpless. Even Liu Rushi couldn't out-argue her husband's sophistry, so they were even less able to persuade him.
“My husband is right! If my husband dies, the child in our womb will have no father, we will have no home, and what use will the country be?” Ge Wei was very supportive of Wang Wenzhou.
"Weiwei is such a good girl!" Wang Wenzhou gently patted Ge Wei's head and said with a smile.
"Mmm!" Ge Wei smiled happily.
"Sigh!" Zhang Rong sighed softly. Ge Wei was a woman, not very well-educated, so it was understandable that she would say such things. Husband! You are an official of the imperial court, the dignified prefect of Hanshan, how could you be so shameless!
"My lord! It's terrible! The bandits are catching up again!" Fu Xingping shouted frantically from outside the sedan chair.
